Description

Can you visit Florence by bike? Yes, it is possible and this small group bike tour is the perfect way to do it. You can get to narrow streets and pedestrian areas that tour buses and rental cars can’t!

The perfect city for biking

Much of Florence’s historic centre is pedestrianised so it’s actually a great place to cycle. Join this Firenze bike tour to see way more than you would in an average walking tour as you spend less time getting from place to place! You’ll be accompanied by an experienced and knowledgeable English-speaking guide so there’s no need to worry about getting lost. And they know all the places that the tour buses can’t get to!

Visit all of Florence’s major attractions from two wheels

You’ll ride through the narrow streets of the historic centre and the Oltrarno District, where you’ll get a chance to see the city’s most amazing monuments such as the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and Uffizi Square - though you won’t go inside any of the monuments. You’ll also find some unknown and off-the-beaten-track spots from which to admire the city, which are great for photo opportunities. If you have any questions, just ask your guide who will regale you with fun facts and historical explanations whenever you fancy.

Discover the “Cradle of the Renaissance”

Most people who have done this tour agree that it’s the most fun way to discover Florence - and it saves you a lot of time. There are options for bikers of any age, as well as families, and couples can even choose a tandem bike. Most of the itinerary is flat and there is a little riding in streets with traffic, so some confidence in riding a bike is required.
